this wharf they should be paid
back and the only way was by ref
erence of the item to a special com
mittoe He then asked that the
chair instruct the clerk to write the
Supotintendeut of Public Work in
order to secure all the vouchers in
connection with tho buildiDg of this
wharf and wa3so ordered
Kumlao was also of the same
opinion as some of the previous
speakers Something ought to be
done to stop officials from ordering
work done as iu this case without
authority of the rightful body the
Legislature If we pay this claim
there is no telling whore it will
stop
Vida said that Baokley was cor
rect but he believed no
tenders were rver called Yet tho
item in the bi 1 was correct and was
owed by the Government
On a suggestion from the Chair
the item was passed over for tho
timB being Thon the oth
er items were taken up Ou
five itetm for tho I I S N Co
after passing three Kumalae
asked to havo tneui reconsidere 1 at
which Greeuwell said why reconsid
er them Pass them all would be
the proper tiling Again Kumalae
said that these itoms of debt ac
cording to the bill were contracted
for prior aid since the session of
the last Legislature and why were
they not then presented He
would like to know the reason This
Beemed to him an unusual procesd
ing
- At the fourth of these itemaLong
asked to know what it was for and
wa answered by Vida that it was
for coal who further said that most
all of those items were for coil
Pnele questioned that these items
were before and during the time the
1901 Legislature was in session and
why were they not then presented
A motion to defer failed but on
Kumalaes motion the committee
rose reported progreBi and asked
leave to sit again which report was
adopted
Recess at noon
aftebnoon session
The Senate gave notice of its
amendment to House Bill 1 expens
es of special session reducing the
amount from 20000 to 18000
Aylett moved not to conour in the
amendments He objected to the
House being dictated to and ques
tioned the right of the Smate to
reduce what the House asked for
its expenses Will you submit
Its up to you We can do the
same to them as their expense bill
is still here Tke bill should have
gone to conference and then in
conference it should bs fought out
but instead it only saw a committee
of this House For them to reduce
I think it is a high handed proceed
ing
Harris thereupon said iu answer
to Aylett that the Senates Ways
and Means committee asked the
Houses Finance commttee for
statement of expenses and we gave
them after finding out from the
Clerk 18310 Yesterday the
ohairtnau of ths Ways and Means
spolt to ra about the legality of
the bill and he thought tha only
the expenses of the extra session
should be iu one bill and the uu
paid bills of the regular session in
auother On this suggestion our
figure came to 12500 and they have
allowed us 11000 more than we
asked The Finance committee did
not bind the Houss but out of
oourtesy submitted figure on re
qiet
Paale supported Ayletta motion
We pasfed a bill and it wont up to
Seusto for its approval and they
have the same here It has no right
to question what we ask for I have
been told by a Sjuator that it was
because we hive not pas sd the
Haokfeld wharf item IfBiiohisthe
case we ought o adjourn for three
dy and koep on doing so as we
have no money with which to pay
our officers and ourselves

words tho paoplo to say somo
on tha three days adjournment
posed by Paeta Paelo toik
chair and Bockloy took tho floor
Governor does not approve
both Houses should override
veto tho Governor can inslruot
Treasurer not to pay a cont
thero wo are we would ogiin
in
Paelon chair
In addressing tho Chair Beokley
Bid that the bill was amended in
title by the Senate so as to make it
legal It was hold that to inolude
tho unpaid bills of tho regular ses
sion was illegal If wo should in
sist and tho bill patsed at 20000
and after bsing certified to the
and
the
tho
and
be
held up and be worao off than now
Should tho Attorney General give
an opiuion that tha House Bill as
sent up was illegal then what would
we do The bill now was similar to
tho one of the last sassion which
the Governor signed It was be
cause another party controlled but
now it is his own party that is in con
trol thesa questions have now beet
stirred in ordor to bold us up i
Oflltevd mat o uhrul iu concur in
the Senate amendments and than
sMid the bill to the Governor In
the meantime let us pass another
bill for our unpaid bills and hold
the SonateB expense bill till our
bill for unpaid bills is approved
The treatment of the House bill by
the Senate is rathor peculiar
When we sent up our bill it took
several days before being passed on
first reading and many days later
on second reading But not so
with us when their bill came we
immediately pns3ed it on first read
ing and eocond reading the next
day If our bill is not approved I
would be tho first to advise you all
to go home and I and tho clerk will
stay here and adj mm from day to
day
Aylett again said that that course
would go to snow that wo are in op
position Wo must act in accord
ance with law and that is what is
wanted- The Senate had no rightl
to cut down our bill but it had the
right only to approve What do they
know of our needs - We ought to
know our needs better than they
Section 47 of the Organic Act states
what courss to pursue It might
have given us notice and then go to
conference This would be a very
bitter pill to swallow
Backley on a point of order said
that Aylett was giving a false con
struction of tho Organio Act And
after a little more parleying with
Aylett the previous question was
moved by Kaniho and carried Con
currence in the Senate amend
ments was carried by 23 ayes and 5
nays
Kumalae on the rules being sus
pended gave notice to introduce a
bill for paying theunpaid bills of
the regular Bession
Then unfinished business was
taken up on Senate Bdl 4 in Com
mittee of the Wboe with Harris
atili as chairman
Kalama moved to reconsider the
miscellaneous item under the Ju
diciary Department as he wanted
to refer Some said it was already
so referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee and he said he had the
vouchors let uapasa it now Upon
which made a verbal report believ
ing that this
committee would sup
port hm which was adopted
The chairman said in leferenoe to
the Hackfeld wharf that tho clerk
Bays no rapoit was received but
only a letter from the Superinten

they went with the consideration of
